Nearly 370 Palestinian children remain imprisoned in Israeli detention centres, according to a report by the Palestinian Centre for Prisoners Advocacy, Middle East Eye reported. The organization released the findings as what it described as an alarming assessment of child detention in the Israeli prison system.
The Palestinian Centre for Prisoners Advocacy did not specify the charges against the detained minors, their lengths of stay, or conditions within the facilities where they are held. The report marks the latest documentation of Palestinian children in Israeli custody, a practice that has drawn scrutiny from international human rights organizations.
